Weathered Jerry Cans

JTG Products makes accessory sets for 1/87 scenes. This is a sample of their set Weathered Jerry Cans Set of 4 #DP38.

JTG Products focuses on the modeling of the German Railroad of the WWII Era. Modeling the World War II Eastern Front since 1984, and recently building models for others, in May 2013 an enjoyable full time hobby became JTG Products. JTG Products makes lineside structures such as, but not limited to

JTG also combines, customizes, paints and decals commercial HO railway rolling stock and military personnel and equipment for sale. More than German subjects are available and while there are too many to list here, an example is his set Roco Minitanks Patton's 3rd Army 24 Soldiers 2 Sherman Tanks Custom, including everything in the title, painted and ready to populate your layout! The models and services can be found via the website JTG1942 and eBay.

While JTG Products is focused on military modeling, these many of his products are perfect for civilian scenes, too.

Detail

This casting represents a pile of jerry cans. They come pre-painted and weathered with a wash.

In contrast to other JTG Products casting I have examined, this casting lacks sharp defined detail.

We thank JTG Products for sending this casting in for review. Please tell them you saw this here - on RailRoad Modeling.
